Stephan Wiesand da549eea21 doc: bos setrestricted -mode 0 does make sense
Commit 070230ab76 added documentation of
the mode parameter to bos setrestricted, claiming that the value 0 is
useless, and commit eee0bf5871 added
documentation of the restrictmode entry in BosConfig, claiming that it
can only be set back to 0 with an editor. Both claims are wrong, since
bos setrestricted -mode 0 will do exactly that (if it succeeds, which
it only can if the server is running in unrestricted mode, which can
be achieved by sending it the FPE signal). Fix the man pages
accordingly.

=head1 NAME
bos_setrestricted - place a server in restricted mode
=head1 SYNOPSIS
=for html
<div class="synopsis">
B<bos setrestricted> S<<< B<-server> <I<machine name>> >>> S<<< B<-mode> (0 | 1) >>>
S<<< [B<-cell> <I<cell name>>] >>> [B<-noauth>] [B<-localauth>] [B<-help>]
=for html
</div>
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The B<bos setrestricted> command places the server in restricted mode. This
mode increases the security of the bos server by removing access to a
number of bos commands that are only used whilst configuring a system.
When a server is in restricted mode, access to B<bos_exec>, B<bos uninstall>,
B<bos install>, B<bos create>, B<bos delete>, B<bos prune>
is denied, and the use of B<bos getlog> is limited.
=head1 CAUTIONS
Once a server has been placed in restricted mode, it may not be opened up
again using a remote command. That is, B<bos setrestricted> has no method
of placing the server in unrestricted mode. Once a server is restricted,
it can only be opened up again by sending it a SIGFPE, which must be done
as root on the local machine.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<-server> <I<machine name>>
Indicates the server machine to restrict.
=item B<-mode> <I<mode>>
Indicates whether to turn restricted mode off or on. Pass a 1 to turn
restricted mode on, and pass a 0 to turn restricted mode off. The latter
will only work if the server is already running in unrestricted mode, and
thus won't do anything immediately, but can be used to change the
corresponding entry in L<BosConfig(5)>.
=item B<-cell> <I<cell name>>
Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument
with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see L<bos(8)>.
=item B<-noauth>
Assigns the unprivileged identity C<anonymous> to the issuer. Do not
combine this flag with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see
L<bos(8)>.
=item B<-localauth>
Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
F</usr/afs/etc/KeyFile> file. The B<bos> command interpreter presents the
ticket to the BOS Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this
flag with the B<-cell> or B<-noauth> options. For more details, see
L<bos(8)>.
=item B<-help>
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are
ignored.
=back
=head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must be listed in the F</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file on the
machine named by the B<-server> argument, or must be logged in as the
local superuser C<root> if the B<-localauth> flag is included.
As noted above, this command cannot be run against servers which are
already in restricted mode.
